Murieta
Joaquin Murieta, a Mexican peasant, and his wife travel north to California to prospect for gold, where they meet only one white person, a marshal, who befriends them. However, after being beaten and robbed, and having his wife murdered by bandits, Murieta exacts his vengeance by forming a gang of outlaws who rob the countryside. Murieta is eventually cornered by the marshal, who convinces him to call it quits on his crusade. When Murieta is later wounded and convalescent, his gang unleashes terror on him without his knowledge, eventually leading to his death at the hands of the marshal in a final battle.
